Window Sensors Market Report 2025

The window sensors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.67 billion in 2024 to $13.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to home security concerns, a rise in smart home technology, crime rates and burglary incidents, increased connectivity and IoT adoption, and home insurance premiums.

The window sensors market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to enhanced integration with smart home ecosystems, AI and machine learning integration, rise in DIY home security systems, expansion in home automation, and advancements in sensor battery life. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in sensor technology, dual-technology sensors, integration with voice assistants, machine vision sensors, and solar-powered sensor technology.

The increasing frequency of security breaches is anticipated to drive the growth of the window sensor market in the future. A security breach occurs when an intruder breaks a window to gain access to a property. Window sensors transmit a signal to the main control panel, triggering an alarm if a door or window is opened or if a breach happens while the alarm is active. For instance, in November 2023, the Department of Defence Australia reported that during the financial year 2022-2023, the Australian Cyber Security Centre received over 94,000 reports of cybercrime, representing a 23 percent rise compared to the previous year, 2021-22. Thus, the increase in security breaches is fueling the growth of the window sensor market.

The expanding construction industry is expected to enhance the growth of the window sensor market in the future. This industry involves the planning, design, development, and execution of structures, facilities, and infrastructure projects. Builders and developers who integrate modern security systems into new constructions improve overall security measures. By alerting workers to open windows in hazardous areas such as high floors, window sensors can help reduce the risk of accidents during construction. For instance, in March 2023, Oxford Economics reported that the value of construction work is anticipated to increase from $9.7 trillion in 2022 to $13.9 trillion by 2037, driven primarily by significant construction markets in China, the U.S., and India. Therefore, the growing construction industry is propelling the growth of the window sensor market.

The integration of advanced technologies is a prominent trend in the window sensor market, with major companies developing innovative solutions to maintain their market position. In November 2022, OPTEX, a Japanese sensor manufacturing company, introduced the Grade 3 FlipX advanced sensor series, designed for high-security applications in indoor settings. These sensors feature a unique lens that can be flipped to enable both wide and narrow detection in a single sensor. Additionally, they incorporate a specially designed pyroelectric sensor for improved human body detection and clever IR-Antimasking to enhance protection. Such advancements highlight the trend of incorporating sophisticated technologies to enhance security measures.

Major companies in the window sensor market are also leveraging advanced technologies such as smart sensors to cater to broader customer bases and increase revenue. Smart sensors are sophisticated electronic devices equipped with sensing capabilities, processing power, and communication technology to collect, process, and transmit data. In August 2023, Signify N.V., a Netherlands-based lighting company, launched the Philips Hue Secure contact sensor. This contact sensor, available in black or white, is designed for doors, windows, cabinets, and more, providing real-time notifications upon opening or closing. Its unique capabilities enable programming for various scenarios, such as activating hallway lights and sending notifications in response to contact sensor events, adding an automation layer to home security.

In February 2022, Newell Brands Inc., a US-based consumer and commercial products manufacturer, sold its Connected Home & Security Business to Resideo Technologies Inc., a US-based control and security systems company. This strategic move allows Newell Brands to focus more on categories with significant value creation opportunities through core capabilities. The Connected Home & Security Business of Newell Brands produces home safety products and sensors distributed through retail and commercial channels.
